2014 Map of Delena

About this map

Delena and the surrounding rural landscape of Columbia County are defined by a complex drainage system flowing toward the Columbia River in this 2014 survey. The terrain is deeply carved by the Clatskanie River and its northern fork, as well as the headwaters of Beaver Cr and Carcus Cr. This map documents the persistent rural character of the region, where timber and agriculture are supported by a dense network of local roads such as Alston Mayger Rd and Apiary Rd. Settlements like Alston and Apiary anchor the upland areas, while the northern edge of the quadrangle reaches the riverbanks at Rinearson Point and Dibblee Point. Genealogists will find the Apiary Cem situated near the intersection of several local routes, while the Lower Columbia River Hwy remains the primary artery connecting these interior settlements to the larger river economy.
